1.2 OverviewThe Q3X Sensor is an Expert™ laser diffuse contrast sensor for low contrast detection application. Some models of the Q3X are able toignore targets beyond a factory-set background suppression distance. This innovative combination of low contrast diffuse sensing oftargets while ignoring objects beyond the region of interest eliminates the biggest problem of diffuse mode sensing, namely changingbackground conditions affecting the contrast detection.The normal sensor state is Run mode. From Run mode, the switch point value can be changed and the selected TEACH method can beperformed. The secondary sensor state is Setup mode. From Setup mode, the TEACH mode can be selected, all standard operatingparameters can be adjusted, and a factory reset can be done.

1.3.1 Display and Indicators

Figure 2. Display in Run Mode

1. Stability Indicator (STB = Green)2. Active TEACH Indicators

• DYN = Dynamic TEACH selected (Amber)• WND = Symmetric window thresholds are active

(Amber)

In Run mode, the 3-digit, 7-segment display provides real time information about signal strength for all models and target position formodels with a fixed background suppression distance. The numeric value of 0 to 990 represent the amount of the received light dividedby the threshold, and represents the excess gain of the sensing event expressed as a percentage of the switch point. This value is callednormalized signal strength (NSS). A NSS display range of 999 indicates a saturated received light signal, meaning that low contrastdetection is not possible.In single threshold teach modes (Two-Point Static, Dynamic, Light Set, or Dark Set), the output switches at a displayed value of 100(excess gain of 1.0).

For models with a specified background suppression distance, indicates that a target is present at a distance beyond thebackground suppression distance and is being suppressed. In Light Operate mode, the output switches off when displays. For thebackground suppression models, the sensor's output state when displaying can be controlled using the menu. By default,the sensor treats a target in the background as a dark signal and honors the LO/DO selection.

A displayed value of indicates no light received or a loss of signal.In Window Set teach mode, the value 100 represents the taught signal strength. The displayed value is the percentage of the receivedlight divided by the taught signal strength. The output switches at displayed values above and below 100 as determined by the user-selected window offset percentage.

Output Indicator• On—Outputs conducting (closed)• Off—Outputs not conducting (open)

Stability Indicator (STB)• On—Stable light signal received• Flashing—Light intensity is within the switching threshold hysteresis band• Off—No light signal received

Active TEACH Indicators (DYN and WND)• DYN and WND off—Two-Point Static , Light Set, or Dark Set TEACH mode selected (Two-Point Static TEACH is the default).• DYN and/or WND flashing—The sensor is in TEACH mode.• DYN on—Dynamic TEACH mode selected• WND on—Symmetric Window thresholds are active. The switch points are above and below 100 by the offset percentage

1.4 Laser Description and Safety Information

For Safe Laser Use - Class 2 Lasers• Do not stare at the laser.• Do not point the laser at a person’s eye.• Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical.• Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than thosespecified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Do not attempt to disassemblethis sensor for repair. A defective unit must be returned to the manufacturer.

CAUTION: Never stare directly into the sensor lens. Laser light can damage your eyes. Avoid placing any mirror-like object inthe beam. Never use a mirror as a retroreflective target.

Class 2 LasersClass 2 lasers are lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm, where eye protection is normallyafforded by aversion responses, including the blink reflex. This reaction may be expected to provide adequate protection underreasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.

Class 2 Laser Safety NotesLow-power lasers are, by definition, incapable of causing eye injury within the duration of a blink (aversion response) of 0.25 seconds.They also must emit only visible wavelengths (400 to 700 nm). Therefore, an ocular hazard may exist only if individuals overcome theirnatural aversion to bright light and stare directly into the laser beam.

Laser wavelength: 655 nmOutput: < 0.42 mWPulse Duration: 5 µs



2 Installation2.1 Install the Safety LabelThe safety label must be installed on Q3X sensors that are used in the UnitedStates.

Note: Position the label on the cable in a location that has minimalchemical exposure.

1. Remove the protective cover from the adhesive on the label.2. Wrap the label around the Q3X cable, as shown.3. Press the two halves of the label together.

Figure 3. Safety Label Installation

2.2 Sensor OrientationCorrect sensor-to-target orientation is important to ensure propersensing. To ensure reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown inrelation to the target to be detected.

For models with background suppression, make sure the intended targetis inside of the contrast sensing range and that any background objectsare positioned beyond the background suppression distance.

3.6 Sync Master/SlaveTwo Q3X sensors may be used together in a single sensing application. To eliminate crosstalk between the two sensors, configure onesensor to be the master and one to be the slave. In this mode, the sensors alternate taking measurements and the response speed is 25ms.

1. Configure the first sensor as the master; navigate: > .

2. Configure the second sensor as the slave; navigate: > .3. Connect the gray (input) wires of the two sensors together.
